A Bird in the Hand

I love ostrich effect leather.

And I am really enjoying these Michael Michael Kors ostrich effect leather handbags.

 Can I have one please?

Mad as a Box of Cheetahs

I know it is only August, but I read something recently that said that most of the good winter coats are bought in August (admittedly it was probably written by a retailer to enduce a shop-bound panic - guess who's fallen for that. Fool!)

So anyway, I thought "What the hay, I'll look at Net a Porter." Well, actually I looked at To'sho' first but there really wasn't anything of merit there in the coat department. So while I was on Net a Porter I was surprised to find that at the bottom of the first of two pages of coats we were already into the thousands. So I questioned how much would the most expensive coat be. You know, just for larks. Don't tell me I don't know how to have fun.

And do you know what I found? Well, you probably do. The clue is probably as clear as the nose on your face. Isn't it? So, yes, you are quite right, it was the calf-hair cheetah-print Michael Kors balmacaan (a loose single-breasted overcoat, apparently) that you see above. And the cost?

£11,695.

I kid you not.

Recession? What recession?

It's not even cute.

Summer Lovin'

In my own personal reposte to my previous comment, here is something that makes me happy it is just the beginning of summer. Walking past the newly opened Michael Kors shop on Bond Street, and seeing some of these goodies:
